PORTABLE WATER SUPPLY AND HEATING SYSTEIVI.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ERASTUS L. STOCK- MAN, citizen of the United States,residing at Adams, in the county of Gage and State of Nebraska, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable ater Supply andHeating Systems; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in portable water supply andheating systems.

One object of the invention is to provide a portable water heating andsupply system by means of which hot or cold water may be convenientlyobtained for use in barber shops and other places which are notconnected with city water systems or other source of water supply.

Another object is to provide a portable water supply and heating systemadapted to be inclosed 111 a suitable cabinet.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists ofcertain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement ofparts as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out inthe appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 1s a perspective view showing thecabinet containing the invention; Fig. 2 is an elevation of the workingparts with the tank in section; Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional viewthrough the water supply and heating tanks; Fig. at is a rear elevation.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 denotes a cold water tankwhich may be of any desired size and shape and which may be filled withwater in any suitable manner. Connected with the tank 1 near the bottomthereof and adjacent to one side is a water heating tank 2, which issupplied with water from the main or cold water tank 1 through a waterconducting pipe 3 on the end of which in the tank 2 is arranged anautomatically operated supply valve 4:. Connected to the valve 4 by asuitable fleXible connection 5 is a valve closing float 6 which, whenthe tank 2 is full or the water therein has risen to the desired point,will close the valve and thus cut off further supply of water to thetank 2 until the water therein has been lowered, at which time theSpecification of Letters Patent.

float will also lower to a greater or less extent thus permitting thevalve to open, whereupon more water from the tank 1 will run into thetank 2. By means of the automatic water supply mechanism just describedthe level of the water in the tank 2 will be constantly maintained aslong as any water remains in the tank 1.

Arranged below the tank 2 is a burner 7 which may be of any desiredconstruction and is here shown as an oil burner. To the burner 7 isconnected an oil supply pipe 8 leading to an oil supply tank 9 wherebyfuel is supplied to the burner. In the pipe 8 is preferably arranged avalve 10 by means of which the flow of the oil to the burner iscontrolled.

lVith the tank 1 is connected a water dis charge pipe 11 which extendsdownwardly and outwardly and is provided with a draw off faucet 12. Withthe tank 2 is connected a discharge pipe 13 which is also provided witha faucet 14:. The tanks 1 and 2 and the parts connected therewith arepreferably in closed in a suitable cabinet 15 on the front side of whichis arranged a basin or lava tory 16 over which the faucets 12 and 14 arearranged. The basin or lavatory 16 is provided with a waste pipe 17leading to a suitable waste water receptacle which may be disposed inany convenient place. The cabinet 15 is provided on its rear side withsuitable doors 18 whereby access may be had to the burner and tanks andthe interior of the cabinet.

By means of a water system constructed in accordance with the invention,hot or cold water may be conveniently supplied at places which are notconnected with a water supply system and by inclosing the same in acabinet as herein shown and described a neat and attractive appearancewill be presented.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings the construction and operation of the 111-100 vention will bereadily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined in theappended claim.

provided With faucets arranged above the basin, and means also in thecasing for heating one of the tanks.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses. ERASTUS L. STOOKMAN. Witnesses:
